Administrator’s N otice.
Having received letters of administration on the
estate of Martha A. Flanagan, deceased, the under-
signed hereby gives public notice, “requiring all
persons haying claims against the i-state of Martha
A. Flan gan, deceased, to present the same to me, as
administrator, within the time prescribed by law.”
Said letters were granted me by the honorable
Counry Court of Galveston County, Texas, on the
28th day of May, 1886. S. J. FLANAGAN,

agan, deceased.

Galveston, Texas, May 28, 1886,
The sentence of Herr Most gives very
general satisfaction. Nobody need look
under the bed for Most for a year at
least.
If Jim Blaine is such a dreadfully smart
man, why does he say so many things
that he afterward feels obliged to deny
having said?
Fort Worth papers have been asking
what Congressman Wellborn has ever
done for Fort Woith. He has now se-
cured a daily postal service between that
city and the village of Grapevine.
Why dosen’t congress, which has just
come to the aid of cow butter, secure to
a great and thirsty people better whisky
and more* of it? Does every member
hesitate to introduce a bill to this effect
for fear it will be regarded as a personal
measure?
It is said that Gilbert and Sullivan are
writing a new opera, to be called “The
Khedive.” But this is probably a mis-
take. Gilbert and Sullivan gave up
writing operas some time ago. All that
they now do in the operatic line is to
give their old operas new names.
While all the shipping at Montreal dis-
played the stars and stripes in honor of
President Cleveland’s marriage, not a flag
was unfurled at New York city, and not
a salute was fired. New York is not
easily stirred by patriotic impulses, as
the neglected grave of Grant abundantly
shows.

Mr. D. L. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,

and got relief from the first bottle, and
after taking six bottles was entirely

pounds. Says he positively believes he
would have died had it not been for the
relief afforded by Electric Bitters. Sold

ive. The distribution ot these prizes is

open to all competitors, $4500; second

ally low rates, and the success of the un-
dertaking is now assured. The selection
of the location has not yet been made.
The board will meet again this evening.
LACOUSE IN LIMBO.
- «:
Chief of Police M. M. Jordan, of this
city, and Detective W. S. Healey, of Bos-
ton, returned from Houston yesterday,
after having passed a pleasant day among
the citizens and officers in the Magnolia
City. It is presumed that the Lacouse re-
lease was the object of the official visit.
There seems to be uo particular change in
the condition of the Lacouse question to-
day. The sheriff will hold the prisoner
unless a bond of $750 is given for his ap-
pearance in the district criminal court, or
uulses he be ordered by the judge to re-
lease Lacouse on presentation of a requisi-
tion from the governor. Lacouse at times
expresses himself as willing to go back to
Massachusetts, at other times'signifies his
wish to remain in confinement here. It is
perhaps immaterial to him. Mrs. La-
couse does not desire to keep her husband
under legal surveillance and will not insist
on a peace bond, and will withdraw her
complaint or refuse to prosecute if Lacouse
will depart the city as soon as released
That she fears him is evident from her ac-
tion before the recorder. That she does
not desire to prosecute is also evident from
her assertions concerning the departure of
Mr. Lacouse. The attorney for the prisoner
insists that he will hold Lacouse here as
a guest of Texas until after the grand jury
meets and the peace-boud case is disposed
of. The detective desires very much to
take the prisoner back and will do so if
it is in his power under due process of
law, which, if properly managed, will
be by requisition from Governor Ireland
and an order from Judge Cook to Sher-
iff Owens to turn oyer the prisoner to
Mr. Healey. Lacouse will go back with
the detective this time, and will go all the
way through.
—E. Boussion still continues in busi-
ness on 13th street, between Mechanic
and Strand, where can always be found
everything usually kept in a first class
meat market. *
—Special Officer James Cahill arrested
Mary Ellen Thomas who is charged with
theft of clothing of more value than $20.
The officers say she is a veteran offender,
having served a two years’ term as guest
of the state at Huntsville.
—Complaints are made by residents
along the southern part of Bath avenue,
that water stands iu the ditches, breed-
ing malaria, mosquitos, and other forms
of mischief. After a heavy rain like that
occurring lately there are many gutters
where the water stands for days, becom-
ing foul aud threatening to the health of
all residing in the vicinity. Not a gallon
of stagnant water should be allowed to
remain inside the city limits, especially
during the heated term.
—A letter from the junior lieutenant
of the Galveston Artillery, Mr. Frank
Walker, to a member of the local artillery
company, announces that the Washing-
ton Artillery, of New Orleaus, Captain
Eugene May, commander, have signified
t heir intention of attending the interstate
drill. This company won first prize at
the Mobile drill last year, aud at Dubuque
the year before, and was beateu in New
Orleans by an Indianapolis battery.
—Deputy Sheriff Ed. GeibeT arrested
Mr. Wharton Branch yesterday afternoon
on a capias from the district court of
Williamson county. The affidavit, signed
by the district clerk, charges Mr. Branch
with having made false certificates. A
bond of $1000 was made for his appear-
ance at the next term of the court. Mr.
Branch was seen this morning, and says
that it is the result of some local feeling
engendered in Williamson county on ac-
count of some land transactions. He
says he was acting as attorney, was not a
notary, nor has he subscribed to any cer-
tificates, and consequently can not be
chargeable with having made false ones.
—The fishing smack, Dave Freeman,
sailed at 7 a. m. to-day for the Redsnap-
per banks, with Captain George Paine in
command, and Bolivar Smith chief officer.
—The case of B. H. Batchellor vs. the
Texas-M xican railway, being( a suit for
$150 damages against the defendant for
running over a cow, was decided this
morning by Justice Spann in favor of
the defendant.
—The following cabin passengers left
on the steamer Lampasas this morning:
Mr. Sproule and family. Captain Thomas
£hubb and family, Mr. A. O. Walthew,
Mr. James Secor, Mr. A. B. Homer and
family, Mr. E. E. Parker, Mr. W. J.

veston; Mr. J. F. Keene, Jr., and ser-

Christening’ a Chinese I nfant. ,
El Paso, June 9.—Sam Singe, said to
be the richest Chinaman in America,
whose wife is a New Orleans lady, had a
christening party at his residence to-day
to witness the adoption of his infant son
into the Catholic church. Governor
Sheldon, of the Texas Pacific, acted as
Godfather, and a number of prominent
people witnessed the ceremony.
He Unceremoniously Skipped.
San Antonio, June 9.—Fred. B. Shel-
ton, a young English architect, partner
of Mr. Riley Gordan, has skipped out
with all the books of the concern, to-
gether with $700 belonging to Gordan
personally. Besides, there are numerous
creditors for small sums who will miss
the young man sadly. Shelton was pop-
ular with all who knew him and his hur-
ried departure creates much surprise. He
has a wife, but no children. His wife
was dissatisfied with her Texas home and
it is supposed that it was through her
importunities that he has left, probab'y
for Kansas City.
A Heinous Crime.
Hicmpstead, June 9. -News has just
reached this place of a most heinous and
outrageous crime that was committed last
Friday by Bose Short, white, aged 17
years, on the person of little Addie Snod-
grass, a girl 7 years old, daughter of the
widow Snodgrass, living eight miles east
of this city. Mrs. Snodgrass is living on
the Short place. Bose and Calvin Suod-
grass were hoeing in the field, Mrs. Snod-
grass and Addie went down in the field
to get some Irish potatoes for dinner.
When the potatoes were gathered, Mrs.
fckiodgrass started to the house, Addie
with her; Bose told Mrs. Snodgrass that
he was goiug to the house directly, and
to let Addie stay down there and that he
would bring her to the house. Instead
of taking the child to the house he took
her down to the back of the field and
brutally outraged her. He is gone. The
citizens are aroused, and if caught, per-
haps will be dealt with as he deserves.
